El Capitan

Located in: Far East >> Philippines >> Subic Bay

It was a freighter of nearly 3,00 tones just under 130 metres long. She crashed in Ilanin Bay where she rests on a sloping bottom, with the deepest point being less than 18 metres and coming to within 5 metre of the surface. The hull of the El Capitan has seen better days and has collapsed in a number of places.

the info about the elcap above is widely held but sorry to say is wrong Majaba (AG 43) was built as SS Meriden by Albina Engine & Machine Works, Portland, Oreg., in 1919; acquired by the Navy under charter as SS El Capitan from her owner, E. K. Wood Lumber Co., of San Francisco, Calif., 23 April 1942; renamed Majaba and commissioned the same day. www.subicbaydive.com has a full historyDate posted: 30-Apr-2008 18:47 by: chas who thought that:
